Rejected petition The Tory Party to cover the cost of Margaret Thatcher's funeral

More details

As the passing of Mrs Thatcher has opened old wounds within the British political system, it has become obvious that support for her is still very polarised.

With that in mind it is unfair for the tax payer in general to be made to pay for her funeral when so many do not hold her in high regard, instead the Conservative Party should cover all costs as the party and it's members are the supporters of her reforms.
